The Canada Research Chair in Community Approaches and Health Inequalities (CACIS) (French) conducts research inform and support practices to improve health equity. [1] CACIS developed this Self-Evaluation Tool for Action in Partnership to allow partners working collaboratively on a specific project to evaluate their partnership with respect to six conditions necessary for effective partnership work [2]:
- Inclusion of a range of perspectives relevant to the issue;
- Stakeholder involvement in strategic decisions early on;
- Stakeholder engagement in negotiating and influencing decisions;
- Stakeholder commitment to the project;
- Equal distribution of power among stakeholders in the partnership; and,
- Arrangements that help build collective action.
CASIS designed the tool so that partners can complete the 18-item self-evaluation individually for later discussion and/or compilation of group results, complete as a group. [2] Users compile their results themselves, though there is also an online, French-language tool that compiles results automatically.
The tool can be completed as a one-time evaluation to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a partnerships and areas where consensus is lacking, or longitudinally to track the amelioration or deterioration of the partnership over time. [2]
